High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Sodium Chlorate.

Overview

Sodium chlorate (NaClO3) is an inorganic compound that appears as a colorless or white crystalline powder. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic. Industrially, it is produced by the electrolysis of concentrated sodium chloride solutions.

Uses

Sodium chlorate is primarily used in the production of chlorine dioxide for bleaching pulp in the paper industry. It is also utilized as a non-selective herbicide and in chemical oxygen generators for emergency oxygen supply in aircraft.

Regulatory

The use of sodium chlorate as a herbicide has been banned in the European Union since 2009 due to health concerns. However, it remains in use outside the EU for non-herbicidal applications such as chlorine dioxide production and pulp bleaching.

Monitoring

Monitoring sodium chlorate residues in food and environmental samples is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories require high-purity reference materials to conduct accurate residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Sodium chlorate is toxic to humans, with lethal doses being a few grams. It can cause acute severe hemolysis, multi-organ failure, and kidney failure. Treatment includes exchange transfusion, peritoneal dialysis, or hemodialysis.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Sodium chlorate is phytotoxic to green plant parts and can also affect wildlife through root absorption. Its use as an herbicide can lead to significant environmental consequences.

Safety Measures

Handling sodium chlorate requires strict safety measures due to its oxidative properties and potential for explosion when mixed with organic compounds. Formulations often include fire retardants to mitigate these risks.

Regulation

Sodium chlorate is subject to various regulations depending on its application. In the EU, it is banned as a herbicide but allowed for industrial uses such as chlorine dioxide production.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for sodium chlorate, ensuring laboratories can perform precise and reliable residue analysis for regulatory compliance in food and environmental samples.
